What does this scene show? It shows that the boss is definitely a very, very great treasure hunter, otherwise there wouldn't be so many different kinds of gold and platinum in front of him...
Nathan Brown swallowed hard again and asked carefully, "Boss, how much gold do you have?"
Yang Jing calculated in his mind and said, "Excluding silver, the total of everything else should be more than 300 tons!"
Yang Jing was not talking nonsense. The first batch of gold treasures he got was Mu Tianbo's treasure. In the cave in Myanmar, he found a full 200,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver. According to the weight calculation in the Ming Dynasty, the weight of these gold and silver converted into modern weight is 7.45 tons of gold and 37.3 tons of silver. (PS: The previous article Lao Mo calculated incorrectly and counted the gold obtained from that treasure as more than six tons. I have changed it here.)
From Gaddafi's treasure, Yang Jing seized a total of 40 tons of standard gold bars. However, Yang Jing was short of money at the time, so he gave all the gold, diamonds, bearer U.S. Treasury bonds, euros and pounds in Gaddafi's treasure to Zhao Meng to cash them out.
Treasury bonds and foreign currencies were easy to cash in, but gold and diamonds took time to sell, so Zhao Meng even set up an offshore company to handle the gold and diamonds. But later, Yang Jing was no longer short of money, so he didn't let Zhao Meng get rid of all the gold and diamonds. So, of the 40 tons of gold in the treasure, Yang Jing kept 25 tons, and the diamonds were also left in seven small boxes.
Later, during his trip to the Arctic and in Wu Zetian's mausoleum, Yang Jing also collected a lot of gold products, but those gold products can be considered antiques in modern times. Yang Jing did not want to melt those gold antiques into gold bars for money.
But when in Papua New Guinea, Yang Jing seized five tons of gold bricks smelted by the Japanese from the "Daiichi Xinxing Maru" cargo ship that sank on the bottom of the sea. He then obtained information about the Japanese secret military base in the Mauge Islands from the sunken ship, and finally seized as much as 202 tons of gold, 11 tons of platinum and two tons of black gold, or rhodium, from that military base.
Then, there were the two batches of gold hidden by the Japanese devils that were seized from the Philippines a few days ago. The precious metals included 52 tons of gold bars, 8 tons of gold powder and gold foil, 10 tons of platinum, and 20 tons of silver bars.
All these precious metals add up to 294.5 tons of gold alone. Of course, Yang Jing did not take out the less than seven and a half tons of gold ingots in Mu Tianbo's treasure this time. That thing is also a gold antique, and its true value is much higher than its original gold value, so Yang Jing does not intend to treat it as a gold brick.
In other words, there are 287 tons of gold in this warehouse now!
Add to that twenty-one tons of platinum and two tons of black gold, that’s a total of three hundred and ten tons of gold!
As for silver, Yang Jing did not take out the silver ingots seized from Mu Tianbo's treasure, so here there are only the twenty tons of silver bricks seized from the Philippines, which is equivalent to the price of almost two tons of gold.
In other words, the precious metals in this warehouse add up to almost 312 tons of gold!
This is the amount of precious metals that Yang Jing has been able to sell after two years of hard work and finding several treasures since he obtained the Holy Ring. This is Yang Jing's current gold assets. Of course, if those gold products are included, this number will increase a lot.
If these more than 300 tons of gold were placed in the original time and space, it would be a huge amount of money of more than 13.2 billion US dollars. However, in 1990, the international gold price was at its lowest point, hovering around 400 US dollars per ounce. In other words, these gold were worth only 4.4 billion US dollars in that era.
But this is gold, not paper money! In this era, if the gold worth 4.4 billion US dollars is used as the bank's reserve, it can do things worth 44 billion US dollars, and even if it is properly operated, it can do things worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
Nathan Brown didn't understand these things, but Mike Aller did. So when he knew the origin of the gold and saw the boss put the gold here, he immediately understood what the boss meant.
"Boss, what do you mean..."
"Yes, this gold can be used as the gold reserve for the banks we acquired! However, this gold needs to be re-smelted, and the other is that this batch of gold needs to be laundered. Mike, can you do this?"
Mike Aller thought for a long time before saying, "It will take a long time to clean this batch of gold."
"Haha, then I won't worry about it. I have plenty of time. Mike, I'll leave this matter to you..."
